Students examine annotated songs from the class chill/relax playlist and practice identifying how chord progressions, melody, rhythm, instrumentation, and lyric choices shape emotional response. Using a shared analysis chart and short audio excerpts, they label moments that sound tense, settled, reflective, or resolving. The class then builds a starter list of musical features to listen for during interviews and later song analysis.
